Subject: [PATCH 16/29] mm: add pte_map_lock() and pte_spinlock()
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2021 12:52:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210430195232.30491-17-michel@lespinasse.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210430195232.30491-1-michel@lespinasse.org>

pte_map_lock() and pte_spinlock() are used by fault handlers to ensure
the pte is mapped and locked before they commit the faulted page to the
mm's address space at the end of the fault.

The functions differ in their preconditions; pte_map_lock() expects
the pte to be unmapped prior to the call, while pte_spinlock() expects
it to be already mapped.

In the speculative fault case, the functions verify, after locking the pte,
that the mmap sequence count has not changed since the start of the fault,
and thus that no mmap lock writers have been running concurrently with
the fault. After that point the page table lock serializes any further
races with concurrent mmap lock writers.

If the mmap sequence count check fails, both functions will return false
with the pte being left unmapped and unlocked.
